ABOUT THE AUTHORS: Henry Dubroff, graduated from Columbia Journalism
School in 1972. He is founder and editor of Pacific Coast Business

just 18 months after launch and continues to maintain double-digit
growth rates. Previously, Dubroff was editor of the Denver Business
Journal and business editor at the Denver Post, where he won numerous
national awards for excellence in journalism. His entrepreneurial
accomplishments have been recognized by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce,
the U.S. Small Business Administration, and the California
Legislature.

author, and editor. In her nearly 30 years of newspaper, magazine, and
